Friendly staff made our stay enjoyable.

Unfortunately, the room was unclean upon arrival. I found stains and hair on the bedding, which was quite off-putting. Additionally, the bathroom desperately needs renovations.

Do recommend for a speedy visit

Comfortable room, beautiful views, with a balcony that features lovely sound of the surf and free Wi-Fi in rooms.

Some privacy issues due to shared balconies.

unbeatable beach views with great local dining options

I enjoyed my relaxing stay with wonderful beach views and the convenience of nearby restaurants and cafes that made exploring this charming area a breeze. one of my favorite highlights was being able to sit out on the deck and listen to the soothing sound of the waves while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Perfect for beach lovers

You won't believe the sunrise views from the room, it's like nature's own show every morning. The sound of the waves? Unbelievable, I just left the window open and let it rock me to sleep.

It wasn’t exactly cheap but acceptable for what you get.

Don't miss the coffee and donuts in the morning. the coffee is exceptional!

Staying on the 3rd floor provided stunning views of the ocean, with comfortable accommodations that made for a relaxing stay. The sliding door to the balcony offered a great sound of the surf, although privacy could be a concern due to the shared space. Registration was efficient, despite a brief delay as staff were on the phone, and the dog-friendly policy is a great perk. The salmon at dinner stood out as a highlight of the dining experience.

The ocean view from our room was a highlight for the whole family. We enjoyed easy access to the beach, and my teenagers loved the quick access to local attractions. The staff were genuinely friendly and always helpful, creating a warm family atmosphere.

For dads, it would be great if the lighting in the rooms could be improved for reading at night.

the cape ann motor inn has a fantastic location right on the ocean! it was amazing to enjoy the views from the patio and listen to the waves. the room was clean and comfortable, really capturing that cozy, old coastal vibe we were looking for. we loved being so close to the beach and appreciated the friendly staff. also, the easy parking made our stay even smoother.

the patio area isn’t private at all, which was a bit disappointing.

Just a top selection for an overnight stay in Gloucester with reasonable value. The views from the third floor were fantastic! Consider using the sliding door lock for some peace of mind.

I loved lounging on the deck while listening to the waves crash and enjoyed the beach vibe with friendly folks strolling by. The view was unbeatable, and the beach access made for some relaxing afternoons. Just a heads up, the sliding door could be tricky for privacy, but it didn’t ruin my overall awesome stay. 🌊

Cape Ann Motor Inn provided an very nice oceanfront experience. I adored the cozy, old coastal vibes and fine views from my room. Although the patio lacks privacy, the friendly staff and easy beach access made my stay good.

The beachfront location was fantastic, with stunning views and friendly staff that truly enhanced the experience. Rooms are a bit dated and lack A/C, but they’re clean and comfortable. The shared balconies can feel a bit public, but overall, it met expectations for a laid-back getaway.

The hotel's coastal decor brought back nostalgic feelings, resembling a charming seaside cottage. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the access to the beach made morning walks delightful for this senior traveler.

More comfortable seating options in common areas.
